It's National Pink Day!

 

June 23rd is National PINK Day! 

I love the color pink -- plain and simple.  I wore my pink outfits at junior high as often as I could. I like it so much that I even had my house painted a shade of pink at one time.  Boy, oh boy, did we get in trouble with some neighbors, lol 😁😀

Note: I have no intention of making a political statement, nor a politically-correct statement with this pink-themed post, period.  

Here are my nails in various shades of pink:

one of my favorites!
